From the album: Mercian’s pens
These pens might be considered acceptable for ‘Green Pen Club’, or they might not be.
They are:
my Parker “51” aerometric in ‘Navy Grey’, from Q3 of 1954;
my Lamy Safari in 2017 LE ‘Petrol’;
my Lamy Al-Star in 2023 LE ‘Petrol’.
As you can see even on this rubbish photo, under my fluorescent kitchen lighting the anodised finish on the Petrol Al-Star appears profoundly different to the matte plastic of the Petrol Safari. In actual daytime sunlight (which isn’t ‘due’ here until March) their colours are very similar.
